How can we use "somewhat" in the sentence and what is the meaning of it?

Question

Answer

Somewhat is an adverb. You can also use 'a little' instead which is more common.

For example:

The food is somewhat expensive
The food is a little expensive

Answer

Don't be confused by this, however. There is a difference between "somewhat" and "a little". In my experience, "somewhat" is the stronger of the two, but, like I said, the difference is very subtle.

Answer

Somewhat is like saying a little/a bit, I am somewhat tired. His attitude made me somewhat angry. I would say there is no difference between somewhat and a little/a bit and I would use them interchangeably.
